When the architect Rees Jones created the golf course at the Legend Trail Golf Club, he created a golf course that brings out the Old West-style air of Scottsdale and a fun and testing golf course with greens made of bent grass. It's a premium golf course smack dab in the Sonora Desert.

The golf course at the Legend Trail Golf Club features broad fairways, diminutive bunkering and tees placed on islands, and has been called one of the Top 100 golf courses by Golf Magazine. The magazine also gives Legend Trail 4.5 stars out of five among its

Best Places to Play, and has one of the Top 100 Woman-Friendly Fairways, according to Golf For Women magazine. Panoramas include local sites like Pinnacle Peak, and a round at Legend Trail Golf Club gives all levels of golfer several different shot-making options.

Golf a late-afternoon round on Friday or Saturday, and head back to the Trail's End Grill from 4 to 6 p.m. for specials on drinks and appetizers.

Fantastic at Legend Trail.

Well I arrived sorta' tardy but Steve was a very pleasant breath of fresh air. He was already busy W/some Lady members leaving & still shot right over to Me to help.The Pro shop mentioned I could still warm up then head out which was a relief due to the the tough layout. Condition of the course was a surprise in that even the bunkers played well, I should know! Greens were firm, not dried out hard & the fairways very even . A great HOT day of golf !

This course has beautiful desert scenery

The course was beautifully scenic and a good buy for the price. The range practice area was a little too small and crowded, but this is a minor issue. Course conditions were excellent, but the slope ratings seem much too low for the challenges compared with many other courses that I have played and my skill level, even at the intermediate tees. Every tee shot must be straight and fairly long to cover the desert terrain or your ball is lost. I lost a few yesterday!

Great track in the PHX/Scottsdale area

I always enjoy this course as it doesn't disappoint in service and course conditions. Fairways were in great shape and while greens were very firm, they still were fair

Last-minute booking

I went out as a single got paired up with three other golfers and we didn't see another golfer Until a back up at hole number 11. It ranger came by and got things moving again so we finished in about 4 1/2 hours. Nice course, good condition and an enjoyable round. Greens were undulating and fast, fairways were narrow in places and several had long carries to the landing areas.

Get out and play it...

Course was in great shape tee to green- only disappointment was the range, as mentioned in other reviews the range doesn't have much grass... Weird but maybe they used all the seed on the course

Fast, in more ways than one

Pace of play was fast and the fairways were well maintained. The greens, however were faster than my driveway! The bunkers need more sand.

First time here

My first impression wasn't good as the driving range area had very little grass and only a few stations to hit from. The course however was in very good condition.

Front nine fairly wide open, back nine is tighter with longer carries off the tee. You really need to play this 9 once or twice to feel more comfortable.

Overall was happy with the course and would play again.

Legend Trail

My favorite course in the Phoenix area. It's a desert course with good variety of elevation and challenge.

The condition was excellent, good greens, and a great practice facility with chipping areas, sand and a nice putting green. I didn't eat at the grill, but I'm sure it has a good selection.

Fun Course

A very nice course. Great variety to the holes. Fair and playable. Friendly staff.

The tees at the driving range are poor, not up to the condition of the rest of the course.

Challenging

The range area and practice greens were nice. The staff in the pro shop act like they don't need any more customers. The course was in pretty good shape and the greens are very true. One of my playing partners suggested the fairways were too long in grass length. I thought they were fine. It is a very pleasing layout with plenty of desert vegetation in play. It took us 4 hours and 10 minutes to play.

Wonderful

Best experience for me so far this trip. My fifth course played. Course was in excellent shape. Great iverseeding. Fairways almost lush. Greens outstanding. I played here a couple of year ago and they have improved the conditions. Practice area is the only thing that I would say is not up to par. Thin sandy turf area on range with unlevel lies everywhere.

"Game of thorns" Fun though!

This is a great desert course. It's beautiful, and fun to play. Greens are a little firm, but everywhere I've been, this time of year, has been the same. Be sure to get there early to hit balls, because they seem to call you to the tee box 15-20 min earlier than your tee time. Although it can be forgiving, bring extra balls, because, if it's not in play, it's in thorns. Great course though.
